The Canaanite Woman's Faith
Dear Friends,
Then Jesus went from that place and withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a Canaanite woman of that district came and called out, "Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is tormented by a demon." But he did not say a word in answer to her. His disciples came and asked him, "Send her away, for she keeps calling out after us."
He said in reply, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." But the woman came and did him homage, saying, "Lord, help me." He said in reply, "It is not right to take the food of the children and throw it to the dogs." She said, "Please, Lord, for even the dogs eat the scraps that fall from the table of their masters."
Then Jesus said to her in reply, "O woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish." And her daughter was healed from that hour. (Passage from the Gospel of St. Matthew 15:21-28)

Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
"I have compassion on all My friends and especially you, My brother Melvin, and all My brothers and sisters living in every country of the world.
It does not make any difference where you come from or what colour of skin you have, you are all My brothers and sisters and I desire that you all have a deep friendship with Me. I have all power and I will help you in your daily life. I will give you a reason for living and bring healing to you.
As I healed the daughter of the Canaanite woman, I heal people from anywhere if they have faith in Me. You all need some sort of healing and I am the one to do this for you. Come with great faith and pray for your great need and you will be blessed. I love you."

Message of July 25, 2006
"Dear children! At this time, do not only think of rest for your body but, little children, seek time also for the soul. In silence may the Holy Spirit speak to you and permit Him to convert and change you. I am with you and before God I intercede for each of you. Thank you for having responded to my call."
Message of July 25, 2004
"Dear children! I call you anew: be open to my messages. I desire, little children, to draw you all closer to my Son Jesus; therefore, you pray and fast. Especially I call you to pray for my intentions, so that I can present you to my Son Jesus; for Him to transform and open your hearts to love. When you will have love in the heart, peace will rule in you. Thank you for having responded to my call."
Mother Teresa -
Jesus came to earth to give charity its rightful place in the hearts of men. " By this," He said, " men shall know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another " - and this commandment will last for all eternity.
Simplicity is a virtue, but up to a point, it must never be without prudence; on the other hand cunning and slyness are diabolical and do a lot of harm (AdFP 391).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
Why do we put so much credence on what `they' say?
"Many live under the illusion that their rejection of religious faith is a proof that they are immune from credulity. The truth is that they too accept authority, but it is the vague, vaporous, anonymous authority of `they.' `They' are wearing green, and the like. Who are `they'? The person of faith at least knows the One Whose guidance he accepts."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -I do not know, O Lord, at what hour You will come.
And so I keep constant watch and listen
As Your chosen bride,
Knowing that You like to come unexpected.
Yet, a pure heart will sense You from afar, O Lord.
I wait for You, Lord, in calm and silence,
With great longing in my heart
And with invincible desire.
I feel that my love for You is changing into fire,
And that it will rise up to heaven like a flame at life's end,
And then all my wishes will be fulfilled.
Come then, at last my most sweet Lord
And take my thirsting heart
There, to Your home in the lofty regions of heaven,
Where Your eternal life perdures.
Life on this earth is but an agony,
As my heart feels it is created for the heights.
For it the lowlands of this life hold no interest,
For my homeland is in heaven-this I firmly believe. (1589)

July 27 - PRAY WITHOUT CEASING
Today the Mother of God calls us to persistent prayer:
Dear children, these days the Lord is allowing me to intercede for more graces for you. Thus I urge you once more to pray, dear children. Pray without ceasing. That way I can give you the joy which the Lord has given me. With these graces, dear children, your sufferings can be turned to joy. I am your Mother and I want to help you. (Weekly Message June 19, 1986).
Persistent prayer is the subject of a story Jesus once told:
Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray always and not to lose heart. He said, « In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor had respect for people. In that city there was a widow who kept coming to him and saying, `Grant me justice against my opponent.'
« For a while he refused; but later he said to himself, `Though I have no fear of God and no respect for anyone, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will grant her justice, so that she may not wear me out by continually coming. »
And the Lord said, « Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God Grant justice to his chosen ones who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long in helping them? » (Lk 18 :1-7).
Reflection:
To repeat our prayers until the answer comes does not mean endless repetition or painfully long prayer sessions. Constant prayer means keeping our requests constantly before God as we live for him day by day, always believing he will answer. When we thus live by faith, we are not to give up; the Lord may delay answering, but his delays always have special reasons, and we must not confuse them with neglect. As we persist in prayer, we also grow in character, faith, and hope.
Application:
Our Lady calls us to pray without ceasing. She promises to give us « the joy which the Lord gives to me. » Call to mind the presence of God throughout this day, that you may feel the comfort of his nearness.
Message to Patricia July 21, 2011
Oh dear....I was watching the weather on TV and was feeling just a bit stressed for sure about what I was hearing, and then I felt Jesus wanted to say something, and He said "Do you want Me to talk to you? And I said, Yes. Then He asked me to turn off the TV so I could listen better....ha! I guess so...... that made sense. lol..
So I turned it off and got out the pad of paper I keep on the table and looked at His beautiful Face I have on the wall that I use as I meditate, say the Stations or pray the beads....Oh how good He is. Such love for us all!
He wanted to say something about my sort of stressful mood, and the following went through me plus some other words, so I will share lovingly with you and others ~ always I want to have others uplifted and encouraged..and this goes for poor me, as well ~
"You were thinking what to do when you are feeling a bit down and you have to speak to another in that state of soul ~ Well now, let Me tell you.
Just change your attitude like changing gears ~ make this little effort of the will ~ and be cheerful and smile and speak in the positive ~ it will change the situation instantly like lighting up a room with joyfulness. The gloom will dissipate from your soul, and others you are with will change for the better as well, as souls are so sensitive ~ a smile and cherry voice can work wonders for a not so cheerful situation ~ of course grieve as you must grieve as in the loss of a loved one ~ but in everyday circumstances ~ try this change of attitude and see how it lights up a room and souls, beloved ~ try ~ please try.
Pat..when you see someone and engage in conversation, remember My Presence in that other one ~ (for all) I am the Soul of your soul ~ How would I not be there? Can you be separated from your heart beat or blood flow? Or your Breathing? No ~ so I am listening ~ it's just so many of My children don't listen to My whispering in their soul ~ they are so busy with earthly matters ~ family, jobs, concerns, etc. ~ I understand all this ~ of course one has to be busy about these things ~ This makes up life ~ but beloved ~ and this is a very big but....Just a sigh. Just an inward look to ask ~ I am there ~ concerned ~ present to them ~ to not forget Me in them ~ to be invited ~ to be the most cherished guest in their souls ~ I know how life is for my children. You have to attend to matters, but do all this by inviting Me, asking Me, including Me ~ let Me look after things for you. Ask Me and I will ~ Let Me minister to your heart. How I long to be a part of the family! All of you ~ let us be one!
Can you imagine an earth where I am the center all all lives? I alone know how to give the only true joy to souls ~ Ask Me ~ Come to Me ~ Confide in Me ~ Let My peace fill you ~ as no other peace can ~ not as the world gives, but only as I can give. Come! I love you all ~ Invite Me."

"Today you see the soft glow of My Heart reaching out to you from beneath My Garment. It is inviting you to come closer - to come deeper into My Most Sacred Heart. For I tell you today, My Heart calls out to all of mankind to embrace these Messages of Holy Love."
"It is true that the very ones who most vehemently oppose this Mission are the ones that should embrace it. Do not be discouraged by any statement, threat or any form of persecution perpetrated against you because of your faithfulness to Holy Love.
I tell you, the very fragrance of sanctity is perseverance in Holy Love. You must be that fragrant flower of Holy Love amidst the weeds of controversy, lies and power plays. Know that My Sacred Heart embraces you all the more amidst the greatest trials. It is then I am blessing you."

And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of my heavenly Father is my brother, and sister, and mother." (Passage from the Gospel of St. Matthew 12:46-50)
It is the same mentality in Africa where I was. A person can have many fathers and mothers who are for us our aunts and uncles. Their children are also their brothers and sisters. So those called brothers of Jesus are for us his cousins. This is to show that the Bible was not written in English or French. It is important to know the mentality of the people who wrote the Bible.
It is a fact that My mother loved Me and cared for Me all her life. She is indeed part of My Kingdom too. Do the will of My Heavenly Father and you surely will be My brothers and sisters. When I was on earth I offered Myself as your brother and I want to share My life with you. My love for you is infinite and I will never stop loving you. I call you to be united with Me and to come and contemplate Me every day and so our relationship will grow. I bless you."
MedjugorjeInspirationals] Medjugorje Day By Day July 26 - Sts. Joachim and AnnMother Teresa - Meditations by Padre Pio -True love for our neighbor is to wish him well and to do good to him. Don't refuse in any way or for any reason to act charitably to all without exception. Go out of your way to do this when you get the chance. The Lord desires it and you must make an effort to do it (Letters 1 p 1353). Faith is fathomless. "Faith in a human being is not like sawdust in a doll. You cannot rip it open, shake out the sawdust on a couch, analyze its tree origins, put it back and make a new creature." St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html- Today I heard the words: In the Old Covenant I sent prophets wielding thunderbolts to My people. Today I am sending you with My mercy to the people of the whole world. I do not want to punish aching mankind, but I desire to heal it, pressing it to My Merciful Heart. I use punishment when they themselves force Me to do so; My hand is reluctant to take hold of the sword of justice. Before the Day of Justice I am sending the Day of Mercy.I replied, "O my Jesus, speak to souls Yourself, because my words are insignificant." (1588) Medjugorge by day
These thoughts for a day are taken from a daily meditation book based on the Messages of Our Lady of Medjugorje by Father Richard J. Beyer, Ave Maria Press. - JULY 26 - Sts. Joachim and Ann Of holiness and the family, Our Lady says: Dear children, what joy you give me; you are on the road to holiness! I beg you, help by your witness, all those who do not know hoe to live in holiness. That is why your family must be the place where holiness is born. Help everyone to live in holiness, especially the members of your own family. (Weekly Message July 24, 1986). And in the Book of Proverbs, advice from wise parents is likened to a beautiful garland: Hear, my child, your father's instruction, And do not reject your mother's teaching; For they are a fair garland for you head, And pendants for your neck. Proverbs 1 :8-9 Reflection: On this Feast of Joachim and Ann, the parents of Mary, it is fitting to speak of holiness and the family, for that is where the latter is often born and nourished. In a broad sense, to be holy is to be a reflection of God, to possess the characteristics of the divine, especially love. In holiness, love illuminates the whole person; it becomes a living dynamism or energy within us. Yet love cannot be isolated form the other virtues and usually does not spring up suddenly within us. As the Blessed Virgin said in 1985: "If you live the messages, you are living the seeds of holiness." It is a process, a journey. This brings us to the family and today's message in which Our Lady says to, « let your family be a place where holiness is born, » and « help your family to live in holiness. » In other words, families are urged to live the messages of prayer, scripture reading, fasting and the sacraments, and then love will be born and nourished within them. Prayer is essential to holiness and love, as Mary said in 1987: "Pray, because in prayer each one of you will be able to achieve complete love " (and its corollary, holiness). With holiness alive in our families, we can achieve the good fruits of family life which St. Paul recommends to Ephesians today, and which were evident in the family of Joachim, Ann and their child Mary. Application: Is there a holiness within your family? How can you better foster it in the future? Fr. Doucette: 788] Tue, Jul 26, 2011: The Walking on the Water The Rev. Fr. Melvin Doucette, M.Afr. Tuesday, July 26, 2011 The Walking on the Water Dear Friends, Then Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and precede him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. After doing so, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When it was evening he was there alone. Meanwhile the boat, already a few miles offshore, was being tossed about by the waves; for the wind was against it. During the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came toward them, walking on the sea. When the disciples saw him walking on the sea they were terrified: "It is a ghost," they said, and they cried out in fear. At once Jesus spoke to them, "Take courage, it is I, do not be afraid." Peter said to him in reply, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water." He said, "Come." Peter got out of the boat and began to walk on the water toward Jesus. But when he saw how strong the wind was he became frightened; and, beginning to sink, he cried out, "Lord, save me." Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and caught him, and said to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?" After they got into the boat, the wind died down. Those who were in the boat did him homage, saying, "Truly, you are the Son of God." (Passage from the Gospel of St. Matthew 14:27-33) Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words, "I love you, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters living in the world. Open your hearts to Me and I will give you all the graces you need to follow Me. I will strengthen your faith to believe in Me with all your heart and to oppose all the temptations of the evil one. The Apostles were terrified when they saw Me walking on the water. They had never seen a person doing such a thing. I wanted to show them that I had great power, which only God has. Indeed this miracle touched the Apostles deeply and they made an act of faith in Me, saying, 'Truly, you are the Son of God.' Yes, I am the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity who became man to save you all. However, in order for you to be saved, you need to cooperate with Me. Besides your faith in Me, you need to follow the commandments and if you sin, to repent of your sins. In your love for Me, you will follow all that I have taught you especially to belong to My Church, to pray regularly and to go to church every Sunday. You will love your brothers and sisters and forgive those who have offended you in any way. Live in close union with Me and you will grow in holiness daily. I am your friend who is always ready to help you if you come to Me. I bless you all." Father Melvin Monday, July 25, 2011 The Feeding of the Five Thousand Dear Friends, When Jesus heard of it, he withdrew in a boat to a deserted place by himself. The crowds heard of this and followed him on foot from their towns. When he disembarked and saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them, and he cured their sick. When it was evening, the disciples approached him and said, "This is a deserted place and it is already late; dismiss the crowds so that they can go to the villages and buy food for themselves." Jesus said to them, "There is no need for them to go away; give them some food yourselves." But they said to him, "Five loaves and two fish are all we have here." Then he said, "Bring them here to me," and he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he said the blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds. They all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up the fragments left over -- twelve wicker baskets full. Those who ate were about five thousand men, not counting women and children. (Passage from the Gospel of St. Matthew 14:13-21) Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words, "The Father blesses you and I do too, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters scattered around the world. When the Jews were in the desert for forty years, Our Heavenly Father fed them every day during these years. I also fed the people who came to listen to Me in the desert. The disciples had only five loaves of bread and two fish, but I multiplied this food and fed more than five thousand people. There were still many fragments left over. All these miracles concerning food point to another miracle, which you know if you belong to Me. I am referring to the miracle of the Eucharist. It was on Holy Thursday when I gathered with the Apostles in the Upper Room in Jerusalem and during the meal I instituted the Eucharist. I took bread and wine and changed them into My Body and Blood and gave them to the Apostles to eat and drink. I gave them the power to do the same. So in My Church every time a priest celebrates Holy Mass, he takes the bread and wine like I did and using My own words he changes these elements into My very body and blood. After the consecration, I am present alive in the host and in the chalice as food for you, all My friends. This is My great gift to you. I love you, My brothers and sisters." Father Melvin Sunday, July 24, 2011 The True Family of Jesus Dear Friends, While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, his mother and his brothers appeared outside, wishing to speak with him. Someone told him, "Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, asking to speak with you." But he said in reply to the one who told him, "Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?" And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of my heavenly Father is my brother, and sister, and mother." (Passage from the Gospel of St. Matthew 12:46-50) Many might ask if indeed Jesus had brothers as the Church teaches us that Our Blessed Mother had only one child, Jesus. Why is it mentioned in this text that Jesus had brothers? We have to remember that the word 'brother' has a wider meaning in the mentality of the Hebrews than in our language either French or English. All Joseph's brothers if they had sons are also called Jesus' brothers in Hebrew. It is the same mentality in Africa where I was. A person can have many fathers and mothers who are for us our aunts and uncles. Their children are also their brothers and sisters. So those called brothers of Jesus are for us his cousins. This is to show that the Bible was not written in English or French. It is important to know the mentality of the people who wrote the Bible. Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words, "You who believe in Me are My brothers and sisters. So I greet you, My beloved brother Melvin and all My beloved brothers and sisters living in all parts of the world. If you believe in Me with all your heart and have a great love for me, then indeed you are part of My great family and you are all part of My Kingdom. It is a fact that My mother loved Me and cared for Me all her life. She is indeed part of My Kingdom too. Do the will of My Heavenly Father and you surely will be My brothers and sisters. When I was on earth I offered Myself as your brother and I want to share My life with you. My love for you is infinite and I will never stop loving you. I call you to be united with Me and to come and contemplate Me every day and so our relationship will grow. I bless you." Father Melvin Medjugorje Day By Day July 24 - PRAY ESPECIALLY FOR PEACE Priests for Life: Nobody's Forced to Be Catholic, Can't Stand Teachings? - Leave "He [Jesus] could have endured the agony alone. He could have anticipated His Passion alone. Indeed, in the end, this is what He had to do. But He chose three to be with Him. He showed that He did not want to be alone. He even came and woke them up, even though He knew that though they were willing in spirit they were just too tired to stay awake, and He lamented to them: 'Could you not watch one hour with Me?' Now, we are the chosen ones . . . . We know how much Christ wants us with Him" (John Haffert). Pope John Paul II - August 1, 1989 address by the Pope to a group of Italian physicians dedicated to defending unborn life and to making scientific and medical studies on the apparition, as reported by Bishop Paul Hnilica, SJ, Auxiliary Bishop of Rome: "Today's world has lost its sense of the supernatural, but many are searching for it - and find it in Medjugorje, through prayer, penance and fasting." Mother Teresa - We too must be: the Light of Charity the Truth of Humility the Life of Sanctity Padre Pio - May the Mother of Jesus, and our Mother, always smile on your spirit, obtaining for it, from her Most Holy Son, every heavenly blessing. Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Without Faith it's all psychobabble! "When religion is strong, it purges the unconscious mind of all those fears and anxieties, those worries and psychoses which psychoanalysis tries to expunge in the soul without faith." St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - I am reliving these moments with Our Lady. With great longing, I am waiting for the Lord's coming. Great are my desires. I desire that all humankind come to know the Lord. I would like to prepare all nations for the coming of the Word Incarnate. O Jesus, make the fount of Your mercy gush forth more abundantly, for humankind is seriously ill and thus has more need than ever of Your compassion. You are a bottomless sea of mercy for us sinners; and the greater the misery, the more right we have to Your mercy. You are a fount which makes all creatures happy by Your infinite mercy. (793) MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY These thoughts for a day are taken from a daily meditation book based on the Messages of Our Lady of Medjugorje by Father Richard J. Beyer, Ave Maria Press. July 24 - PRAY ESPECIALLY FOR PEACE In here monthly message for December, 1990, the Virgin spoke of peace: Dear children, today I call you to pray especially for peace in the world. Offer sacrifices and good deeds for peace, for Satan is strong and tries with all his strength to destroy the peace which comes from God. Therefore, dear children, pray with me in a special way for peace. I am with you and I wish to help you with my prayers and to guide you on the path to peace. I bless you with my motherly blessing, and ask you not to forget to live the messages of peace (Monthly Message October 25, 1990). And in Luke's gospel, the angels sing of peace: And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying, « Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace among those whom he favors! » (Lk 2 :13-14). Reflection: Prayer for peace is one of Our Lady's most frequent requests, and so let's simply take her advice, using a prayer written by Fr. Slavko Barbaric, spiritual director to the visionaries: O Lord of Peace, we praise and glorify you for giving us your son, Jesus Christ. Through him you have reconciled the world to yourself, showing us the deepest love. Father, grant us your peace so that we might spread it throughout the world. We place ourselves under your protection and pray for those who are suffering wherever there is conflict. We lift up to you those who are destroying themselves through sin and evil, seeking only the happiness of this world. Lord of Peace, we thank you for the opportunities for peace you have given us in this new age; help us, in the words of St. Francis, to be instruments of your peace. Through the intercession of our Holy Mother, may we experience and sing within our hearts the song of the angels: »Glory to God in the highest, and peace to his people on earth. » May we truly live this peace to your glory, and for the good of all our brothers and sisters. Amen. Application: Try to offer Fr. Slavko's prayer one day each week as a family, before or after the evening meal Holy Love Messages: July 23, 2011 July 23, 2011 Public St. Thomas Aquinas says: "Praise be to Jesus." "I have come to help everyone to realize the path of Holy Perfection is strewn with many obstacles. Two of the most prevalent are discouragement and unforgiveness." "These are both weapons that Satan wields against the soul who pursues the spiritual journey of Holy Love. He poses arguments clothed in discouragement so that the soul begins to feel he will never be able to become holy. The enemy brings to light past sins and nurtures unforgiveness in the heart by reminding the soul of past injuries." "Whenever a soul begins to lose his peace for any reason - but most certainly in the ways I have mentioned here - he can be certain Satan is at work. These are things the enemy does not want revealed; he works under the cover of darkness. I am exposing his work to the Light of Truth." Holy Love Ministries Maranatha Spring and Shrine Last message from Our lady of All Graces, Please pray for seer very sick http://www.ourladyofallgraces.org/olmessages.php MAY THE PEACE OF CHRIST BE WITH YOU. Dear friends in Christ, there will not be anymore messages from Our Lady of All Graces. Just as it was in the time of Christ, Jesus said that it was important for Him to leave so the people could receive the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit which would teach them about the Truth. Our Lady has been with us for more than ten years. She has spoken to us and we have learned much from Her messages given to us through the Arise, Jerusalem, Arise Ministry. She has given us all the ammunition we will ever need to set the world on fire. She will be working more closely with us than ever before. In time to come, She will speak privately to us because She does not intend to abandon us. Her presence will manifest itself more deeply in our lives. She has chosen to enter with great intensity into our lives so that Jesus may live in us and we in Him because this is Her beatitude and ours (John 17: 20 - 23.) It is time for our graduation and no one has failed. It is now time to enter into a closer relationship with Jesus and His Mother. No matter how close we are to them right now, it is always their desire to draw us even closer. There are many exciting things happening in the world, things that attract the curiosity of millions of people over night. The web is full of these exciting events taking place in our world. Our website has been running for over a decade and the most we have attracted is about 45,000 visitors on a monthly basis. Often I have asked our Lady why She will not do something spectacular so that the people may believe that the matters She unveils to us are to be considered pressing. She says the Arise, Jerusalem, Arise Ministry’s mission is not intended to attract the fly by night people who are only seeking to satisfy their curiosity. She tells me the Ministry, overseen by Her has a heavy responsibility and we must avoid all forms of distractions coming from the world.. Dear friends, I am getting on in age and I have been told to put my affairs in order. I suffer from prostate cancer, a cancer that has spread to my bones and I suffer from kidney failure. As a result, I am on dialysis three days every week. I find it very difficult to function normally because of weakness and dizziness that saps my energy. There are many other difficulties that hampers my daily obligations. I really do not know how much more time is left for me on this earth. Dear friends, I have been given a task that is quite dissimilar to what I have been doing all these years. I have been ordered by the Lord to prepare a complete teaching on the Prayer of Contemplation. Once, someone I met at Prayer Meeting offered me a book to read. The writer of the book had not posted His name on his work for recognition; this was his sign of humility. It was the Lord whose influence guided him through the process of putting his teaching on paper for the good of the people who look forward to a closer walk with Jesus and His Heavenly Father. The book is called ‘The Cloud of Unknowing.’ The Lord had already guided me through the teaching from Saint Theresa of Avila and showed me certain aspects of His reality in such a glorious way, the magnificence and sublimity of which never enters the mind of most people who do not even know these thing could be asked for. Those who know, if humble of heart, will not dare to ask for these consolations. Ours is a humble life after having experienced so much of God’s blessings and feel unworthy of it all. I have often considered to prepare a teaching on Contemplative Prayer. I have always hesitated, knowing how difficult a task this can be. The psalmist says that unless the Lord builds the house, we labor in vain. Throughout the years, the Lord has shown me many of His mysteries and has always told me that what He does for me is not for me alone; I am to share it with anyone willing to learn and be enriched by what I learned from Him. I have been made to understand the Lord has invested much of His Grace into my life and it is time for me to share His wisdom and love with others who are of the same mind and spirit as I. It is said that those who have received much, much will be asked of them. I was trusted with little, that which appeared to be much to me. The Promise Land is within sight and we must follow the shadow of the Lord because He is our guide. He has invited me to teach all of you whatever wisdom He has imparted to me and made it clear that you will safely learn from me just as much I will be able to learn from you. The work on our website is almost completed and it will facilitate better communication between us. Besides Saint Theresa of Avila, recognized as Doctor of the Church, I became familiar with the writings of Saint John of the Cross, the respected writer on Contemplative Prayer, also Doctor of the Church, who gave us, among many other works on spiritual guidance, the thesis on the ‘Dark Night of the Soul’. These are the holy people God helped me become acquainted with, preparing me for this moment. Through their guidance, I reached a spiritual growth that I could not ever achieve on my own. All through these many supernatural experiences the Lord favored me with, I went through a spiritual growth that would be impossible for me to attain on my own. Had the Lord not held me by the hand, even these saintly people would not be able to take me where Jesus wanted to bring me. The Lord has assured me of His help to put together nine different teachings to help those of you who desire to walk this journey with me. Out of forty five thousand people, surely some among you will join me in what I have been inspired to call a ‘Cruise to the Islands.’ The program for the Let There Be Life Booklet has taken on a life of its own and Our Lady is very pleased. The people are receiving the message of the Lord and are already spreading the word to families, neighbors and friends. This is the first preparation of hearts to love as Jesus and His Holy Mother love. It is comforting to hear that five States in the Union have already put into law restrictions to prevent the irresponsible spread of Abortion in their state. Dear friends in Christ, the teaching the Lord has called me to prepare is for people in and out of the world to fully receive the Holy Spirit as He came at the time of the first Pentecost. This is the only way for people to become so motivated as to be referred to as ‘Drunks’ in the like of the first Apostles as they left the Upper Room. This is the kind of energy generated by the Holy Spirit which caused the conversion of thousands upon thousands of people. In the time of the first Pentecost, not too many of Christ’s followers were at hand but today, at least forty five thousand followers of Our Lady of All Graces have been receiving instructions about the Holy Roman Catholic Church which is the primary guide for the faithful to receive basic and firm instructions on how to behave in a world so perilous. Let us never forget our responsibility towards Our Gracious Lady who has asked that we proclaim Her as Our Lady of All Graces. This is to be Her final title and it is Her formal request that we help make Her known as such all over the world. The battle is not over; it is only reaching closer to home. Our work has just began. It is important that all Her messages be gathered into books in order to benefit those who have not known about Her presence among us throughout the years. There is also the matter of the building that is to bear Her Title: Our Lady of All Graces Renewal Center yet to be completed. . It is my understanding that at the time of its completion, She will most likely reveal Herself to us who have been faithful to Her and embraced Her mission on earth as our own. I am basing this assertion on the things Jesus and His Mother who said at the proper time, She will reveal Herself to us and what a grandiose sight this will be! Dear friends, unbeknown to most of us, the AJA. Ministry is one of the Armies She has been building. On average, we are forty- five thousand strong, as counted on our website and the Vassals have been the first responders. Their names are marked as ready for battle; the battle being fought through their prayers. As specified before, we have passed basic training and the time to specialize and become an efficient voice for good in the world is at hand. Our call is to become JUST MEN and WOMEN, the kind of people Abraham would be very happy to present to the Lord and say: "Here we are Lord, your children have come to do your will" .

PONDER HOW TRULY PROFOUND THIS IS AND THEN PRAISE AND THANK HIM NOW AND FOREVER. warning website July 25, 2011 http://www.thewarningsecondcoming.com/satan-is-powerless-against-my-devoted-followers/ Satan is powerless against my devoted followers Monday 25 July 2011 09.00 hours My beloved daughter it is with great joy that I once again tell you of the conversion now taking place in the world. As more atrocities are being committed by man through the influence of Satan more of My children are beginning to question the levels of murderous intent now prevalent in your world. As more evil is presented to you so too will the realisation that Satan does, in fact, exist. For those who do not believe he exists then let Me explain how you can spot his evil works. Every time My children witness murder, suicide, war, corruption of Governments and those in power, greed, arrogance and injustices know that these deeds are the manifestation of Satan. The Evil One has become desperate now to poison My childrens’ minds, he will do everything he can at this time in history, so intense is his rage. You, My children are his targets. While he finds it easy to infect souls who leave themselves wide open to his influence – those who continually seek self-glory on earth – he is finding it increasingly difficult to dampen the spirit of My devoted followers. So blessed are they through the gift of the Holy Spirit that he, Satan, is powerless against them. For all those who obey My instruction of prayer they will become stronger in mind and spirit. Then they will not care whether Satan lashes out at them in fury for their shield of armour is so strong. This does not mean he will not use every method to seduce you through the desires of the flesh. This does not mean he will not hurt you by whispering into the ears of those close to you and those whom you love. Stand firm My followers for it will be through your strength that he will be crushed forever. He, My children, will become powerless as conversion spreads. For how can he get you to drink from his evil cup of hatred for mankind when you do not thirst for all his empty promises? The stronger you are the less he will bother you. Know now that when you witness global unrest it is The Deceiver at work. My followers now know instantly the wickedness of Satan when his works are so glaringly obvious. Pray that your brothers and sisters will also bear witness to his evil works and recognise them for what they are. It is only when non-believers finally accept that Satan exists that they will turn to Me for refuge. Pray now for global conversion. The conversion that will come about , not just because of The Warning ,but because of the truth. Your beloved teacher and saviour Jesus Christ Warning website July 24, 2011 http://www.thewarningsecondcoming.com/god-the-father-will-destroy-the-plot-to-overthrow-currencies/ God the Father will destroy the plot to overthrow currencies Sunday 24 July 2011 23.00 hours My dearly beloved daughter My followers’ devotion and allegiance to Me and My Eternal Father is already making a big difference. You, My children, must know that your devotion burns flames of such magnitude in My heart that it feels like it will burst with love for you. Heaven rejoices now at the way you, My beloved children, honour Me with such a passion and devotion. You know in your soul that it is I who speaks. It is I who brings a feeling of such love and tenderness in your heart. I have a message for all of you children who follow My most Holy Divine word on this website. In a modern world this is how I must communicate. This and other communication’s channels will be used to ensure My word is heard and felt by all believers, non-believers and those who don’t know Me at all. Please know that every effort you make out of your love for Me is having an impact. I hear every single one of you. I know the joy that I have brought to your soul. I welcome the way in which your work is spreading My word. I will reward each and every one of you with specials graces and favours. Please ask Me to hear your prayers. Come to Me. I will hear your call. Already the work of the New World Order is beginning to fall apart at the seams. This is down to prayers – your prayers. God the Eternal Father will destroy those who continue to inflict their hideous plot to overthrow currencies in the world as well as those political leaders they are trying to depose of. His hand will now continue to strike out to protect you children. Please I call you all to tell as many influential voices, including the media about these messages. Many will consider you to be delusional when you speak of these messages. Have no fear for the graces you will receive in doing this work far exceeds the initial abuse you will endure. Go forward now My beloved children with love and joy in your hearts. For My word is to be welcomed. At last you know that I walk with you so that I can strengthen the bonds of love for all My followers whom I chose to become close to My Sacred Heart. My precious blood spilled so willingly for each of you so that you could be saved covers you every single day. You are My beloved army and together we will rise to bring all your brothers and sisters back into their rightful glorious home again. I love and cherish each ofyou children. Never forget that. When you pray to Me each day say this prayer Oh my precious Jesus embrace me in your arms and allow my head to rest upon your shoulders so that you can raise me up to your glorious Kingdom when the time is right. Allow your precious blood to flow over my heart that we can be united as one. Your beloved Saviour Jesus Christ 2 Messages -Warning website for July 23, 2011 http://www.thewarningsecondcoming.com/august-2011-salvation-of-souls-month/ August 2011 Salvation of Souls month Saturday 23 July 2011 17.30 – 17.40 My beloved daughter you make me so happy. Your total surrender now means that I can save more souls everywhere. A victim soul, My daughter is not entirely clear to you as to its full meaning but, in time, it will. By then you will be so strong that to suffer for Me will bring you joy not sadness. It will not be easy but then working for Me, your beloved Saviour, can not be easy. It was by the inspiration of God, My Eternal Father that you were encouraged to make this final sacrifice for Me. This is a very special grace My daughter although it won’t appear to be in human terms for My graces are not always about bringing joy and happiness into your life. They can bring suffering but, at the same time, provide you with a real insight into My Glorious Kingdom. Many many people in the world form My precious army. They will through prayer, personal suffering and the spread of My word save souls. The stronger My army is at saving souls the less the impact will be of the Chastisement. I ask all My children to spend the month of August praying the Divine Mercy daily for the lost souls who will not survive The Warning. One day of fasting a week is also required as well as daily Mass and the receiving of My Most Holy Eucharist. If enough of you do this in which I call “Salvation of souls” month then mllions of souls will be saved thoughout the world. Do this for Me children and you will become part of My Glorious Kingdom. Your souls, at the point of death, will join Me in Paradise. That is My most solemn promise. I love you Children. Now go and form the most powerful army in the world. The Army of Love. The army of Salvation. Your Loving Saviour Redeemer of Mankind Jesus Christ http://www.thewarningsecondcoming.com/no-man-will-fail-to-hear-my-sons-word-before-the-time-comes-for-his-return/ No man will fail to hear My Son’s word before the time comes for His return Saturday 23 July 2011 17.15 hours Second Message from God the Father I come in the name of My beloved precious son Jesus Christ. My chosen daughter while you sometimes falter in your attention to My beloved Son’s call to hear him speak, you have risen in My eyes because of the gift you have given Him. Your gift of becoming a victim soul to help save millions of souls makes him weep with joy and relief. For so many souls are being lost to the fires of Hell every day, every second and for every breath you take. My Son requires your total submission now My daughter. Do not hesitate to obey His every command. Your heart is full of love and compassion not just for My precious Son but for all My children. Touched by the Holy Spirit you will now feel instant love for strangers in whom you will see My light. You, My daughter have now been given the graces to see both the love and evil in all. You will also be able to quickly discern sin in poor misguided souls. For this work now means that you must surround yourself with every protection. I will, My daughter protect you and your loved ones for now you will be targeted more forcibly by the Evil One. Pray and ask Me for this protection every day now and you will be spared the intensity of the persecution. You must now call on Me to help you spread these messages so that My Son’s voice is heard and revered in the way it should. My Messenger, My daughter, you have little understanding yet as to what is required of you. Only so much information can be given to you at a time. You will now be inspired by Me and you will fulfil, with My guidance, the prophecies foretold when My Son’s word will be spread just like the Holy Gospel to mankind. No man will fail to hear My Son’s word before the time comes for his return. You have been given this task and for this gift you must bow your head in appreciation of this Glorious request from the Heavens. My daughter you will be assisted in every way but you must obey My Son at all times. Rise now My daughter for man needs to hear the word of warning that My Son imparts so that souls do not have to suffer the torments of Hell should they die in mortal sin without first being given the chance to be redeemed by My Son during The Warning. Let My peace flood your soul now. My Heart surrounds every move you make. Never feel you are alone in this work for you are being guided every minute of the day. God the Father Medjugorje Message - July 25, 2011 Today, July 25, 2011, Our Lady appeared to the visionary Marija and gave the following message: "Dear children! May this time be for you a time of prayer and silence. Rest your body and spirit, may they be in God’s love. Permit me, little children, to lead you, open your hearts to the Holy Spirit so that all the good that is in you may blossom and bear fruit one hundred fold. Begin and end the day with prayer with the heart. Thank you for having responded to my call." Medjugorje Day By Day July 26 - Sts. Joachim and Ann "He [Jesus] knew that His love was necessary to us. He knew that only in His love could we find our happiness, our joy, our bliss. For this reason He suffered and died to obtain for us Redemption, reconciliation, and eternal life. He knew that His personal presence [in the Holy Eucharist] was necessary for the people of all times and all places who would live after the thirty-three years of His mortal life" (Fr. Lukas Etlin, O.S.B.). Mother Teresa - True love for our neighbor is to wish him well and to do good to him. Meditations by Padre Pio - Don't refuse in any way or for any reason to act charitably to all without exception. Go out of your way to do this when you get the chance. The Lord desires it and you must make an effort to do it (Letters 1 p 1353). Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Faith is fathomless. "Faith in a human being is not like sawdust in a doll. You cannot rip it open, shake out the sawdust on a couch, analyze its tree origins, put it back and make a new creature." St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - Today I heard the words: In the Old Covenant I sent prophets wielding thunderbolts to My people. Today I am sending you with My mercy to the people of the whole world. I do not want to punish aching mankind, but I desire to heal it, pressing it to My Merciful Heart. I use punishment when they themselves force Me to do so; My hand is reluctant to take hold of the sword of justice. Before the Day of Justice I am sending the Day of Mercy. I replied, "O my Jesus, speak to souls Yourself, because my words are insignificant." (1588) MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY These thoughts for a day are taken from a daily meditation book based on the Messages of Our Lady of Medjugorje by Father Richard J. Beyer, Ave Maria Press. JULY 26 - Sts. Joachim and Ann Of holiness and the family, Our Lady says: Dear children, what joy you give me; you are on the road to holiness! I beg you, help by your witness, all those who do not know hoe to live in holiness. That is why your family must be the place where holiness is born. Help everyone to live in holiness, especially the members of your own family. (Weekly Message July 24, 1986). And in the Book of Proverbs, advice from wise parents is likened to a beautiful garland: Hear, my child, your father's instruction, And do not reject your mother's teaching; For they are a fair garland for you head, And pendants for your neck. Proverbs 1 :8-9 Reflection: On this Feast of Joachim and Ann, the parents of Mary, it is fitting to speak of holiness and the family, for that is where the latter is often born and nourished. In a broad sense, to be holy is to be a reflection of God, to possess the characteristics of the divine, especially love. In holiness, love illuminates the whole person; it becomes a living dynamism or energy within us. Yet love cannot be isolated form the other virtues and usually does not spring up suddenly within us. As the Blessed Virgin said in 1985: "If you live the messages, you are living the seeds of holiness." It is a process, a journey. This brings us to the family and today's message in which Our Lady says to, « let your family be a place where holiness is born, » and « help your family to live in holiness. » In other words, families are urged to live the messages of prayer, scripture reading, fasting and the sacraments, and then love will be born and nourished within them. Prayer is essential to holiness and love, as Mary said in 1987: "Pray, because in prayer each one of you will be able to achieve complete love " (and its corollary, holiness). With holiness alive in our families, we can achieve the good fruits of family life which St. Paul recommends to Ephesians today, and which were evident in the family of Joachim, Ann and their child Mary. Application: Is there a holiness within your family? How can you better foster it in the future? Medjugorje Day By Day July 25 - GIVE ME YOUR DIFFICULTIES Message, 25. July 2011 "Dear children! May this time be for you a time of prayer and silence. Rest your body and spirit, may they be in God's love. Permit me, little children, to lead you, open your hearts to the Holy Spirit so that all the good that is in you may blossom and bear fruit one hundred fold. Begin and end the day with prayer with the heart. Thank you for having responded to my call." "Especially from the Eucharist, as from a font, grace is poured forth upon us; and the sanctification of men in Christ and the glorification of God, to which all other activities of the Church are directed as toward their end, is achieved in the most efficacious possible way" (Sacrosanctum Concilium). Pope John Paul II - June 1986 response to a group of twelve Italian bishops seeking pastoral advice on people making pilgrimages to Medjugorje. "Let the people go to Medjugorje if they convert, pray, confess, do penance and fast." Mother Teresa - Jesus is the Light Jesus is the Truth Jesus is the Life Meditations by Padre Pio - Fight like a strong soul if you wish to obtain the reward of strong souls (Letters III p 409). Archbishop Fulton Sheen - There is no substitute for Faith "Even when psychoanalysis does effect what it calls a `transference' of the mental state, it never appeases the hunger of the soul for something spiritual and beyond self to adore and worship." St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - You have surrounded my life with Your tender and loving care, more than I can comprehend, for I will understand Your goodness in its entirety only when the veil is lifted. I desire that my whole life be but one act of thanksgiving to You, O God. (1285) Most sweet Jesus, set on fire my love for You and transform me into Yourself. Divinize me that my deeds may be pleasing to You. May this be accomplished by the power of the Holy Communion which I receive daily. Oh, how greatly I desire to be wholly transformed into You, O Lord! (1289) My God, despite all the graces, I long cease to be eternally united with my God; and the better I know Him, the more ardently I desire Him. (1303) MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY These thoughts for a day are taken from a daily meditation book based on the Messages of Our Lady of Medjugorje by Father Richard J. Beyer, Ave Maria Press. July 25 - GIVE ME YOUR DIFFICULTIES Today the Madonna asks that we surrender our problems and anxieties to her: Dear children, tonight your Mother is happy to see you. I especially ask you tonight to give me your problems and difficulties, so that you will be able to pray with more joy and freedom and thus your prayer will be from the heart. That is why I ask you tonight to free yourselves from your troubles through prayer. Know that I am with you, dear children, and that I need your prayers (Visionaries Prayer Group November 5, 1990). And in Luke's gospel, the prodigal son reaches the end of his rope and surrenders to his father's care: So he set off and went to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion; he ran and put his arms around him and kissed him. Then the son said to him, « Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to called your son » (Lk 15 :20-21). Reflection: Unfortunately, some of us need to hit bottom before we awaken to the real meaning and purpose of life. The prodigal son's errant attitude was based on a desire to live as selfishly as he pleased. That attitude is not so different from the desires of a great many people in our society today. It may take great sorrow and tragedy to cause them to look to God for true fulfillment peace. In Alcoholics Anonymous, it is said that one of the chief characteristics of the addictive personality is « self will run riot. » Unless the individual can surrender to a « higher power, » and exchange self-will for God's will, the addictive disease will kill him. Alcoholism is far more than a physical addiction to alcohol; it is a degenerative disease of the mind and spirit as well as the body. A new way of living and thinking must replace the old, or there can be no recovery. In the same way, our own spiritual is dependent upon our surrender to the will of God. Like the prodigal son, we will find only acceptance and Love at the hand of our Father. Application: As Our Lady urges us today, surrender yourself and all your problems and anxieties to the Lord in prayer. Ask also for the grace to continue to « let go and let God. » Holy Love July 24 & 25, 2011 July 24, 2011 Public St. Thomas Aquinas says: "Praise be to Jesus." "You just ingested some sugar for an attack of hypoglycemia. As you took it, you prayed that it would take effect in your system. It is much the same with the conversion of hearts. Hearts can be given the truth over and over. But the truth must take effect in their hearts. If it does not change the condition of the heart, ill effects continue and grow worse - much like the sugar levels in your blood." "The truth has to be absorbed into the heart and become one with the heart - much like the sugar. If the truth does not change the heart, the soul continues in error. That is why this Mission is all about truth, for truth and the conversion of souls are companions." July 24, 2011 Sunday Service - The Triumph of the United Hearts both in Hearts and in the World; Unity in All Families Jesus is here with His Heart exposed. He says: "I am your Jesus, born Incarnate." "My brothers and sisters, be united in Holy Love as I desire that you be. Think only the most loving thoughts of one another, for I tell you, every thought, word and action will be weighed on the scale of Holy Love." "My brothers and sisters, I'm calling you to be one in Holy Love, moving deeper into the Chambers of Our United Hearts." "Tonight I am blessing you with My Blessing of Divine Love." July 25, 2011 Monday Service - Peace in All Hearts through Holy Love Jesus is here with His Heart exposed. He says: "I am your Jesus, born Incarnate." "My brothers and sisters, tonight I tell you that My Heart is still weeping, still wounded, still bleeding for those who do not accept the TRUTH of THIS MISSION. You must continue to pray for all unbelievers. These are the ones that I pursue with every type of grace." "Tonight I'm blessing you with My Blessing of Divine Love." - Holy Love Ministries Maranatha Spring and Shrine Message to Sharon Fitzpatrick July 24, 2011 SUNDAY, JULY 24, 2011 MY SWEET PRECIOUS CHILDREN, I WELCOME YOU ALL INTO THE REFUGE OF MY IMMACULATE HEART.
